Hi
I have a 2000 Espace 2.0 16v. She has done 113k.
Recently, within the last 500 miles or so, I've noticed a whine and feint rumbling sound from the front of the car when either accelerating, driving or slowing down and which stops when stationary. Rumbing sound is a bit more pronounced on right hand corners for some reason.
Not sure if its a co-incidence but the problem seemed to start after a steady 125 mile cruise down the M5 during which smoke started coming out from under the bonnet when I pulled into the services.
Having limped home my local garage put the smoke down to an oil leak from rocker box gasket or camshaft oil seal causing a build up that then got onto the exhaust. Have cleaned her up and just getting rid of residual oil. The garage thought the whine could be the gearbox. the noise is getting louder and its getting harder to sync when changing from 2nd to 3rd unless done very slowly.
Anyone got any thoughts. If its the gearbox on the way out is this likely to be a big expensive job.
Thanks in advance
